BOW TO THE PHALLUS
Kudos to the speakers at the April 23
City Council meeting deservedly trying
to save the historic Hayward Field east
bleachers from the White Knight Privilege
Plan.
After all is said and will be done, the
White Knight knows what is best for the
University of Oregon and the city of Eu¬
gene. History reveals the suppression of
public input; meanwhile, the White Knight
completes renovation plans, weighs suit¬
able contractors and secures donor names
for the bronze plaque on the Bowerman
Phallus.
As the community frets over whether
they will be discomforted by the sun in
their eyes or the rain falling on their heads
while watching gladiators run circles
on the rubberized urethane track under a
plastic prophylactic, the city struggles to
provide its residents an environmentally
healthy future. The carbon count from this
unnecessary construction project along
with a new 2.5-mile NW Fracked Gas line
from Ferry Street to LCC on 30th Avenue
adds to the city’s inability to reduce carbon
reduction goals of the Climate Recovery
Ordinance.
The City Climate Action Plan must be
immediately implemented and the UO,
as a relied-upon large-lever stakeholder,
needs to lead with carbon emission reduc¬
tions. Proposed and current projects on
campus need to fuel the switch to electric¬
ity, use sustainable products, and eliminate
the fracked-gas thirst.
Soon, the environment will set priori¬
ties, but then it will be too late and even the
White Knight won’t be able to comfort you
in your plastic seat.

EMPATH POLITICS
I’d like to bring a little kindness into the
elected auditor discussion. Folks on both
sides are upset. Political empaths such as
myself feel concerned for everyone in¬
volved.
Though I disagree with the criticisms
offered by the opponents of Measure 20-
283,1 believe they’re acting on good inten¬
tions. Yet no matter how I stretch my mind,
their preferences still seem to lead back to
benefiting the few rather than the many.
I feel disheartened to see an apparent
lack of respect for plain old democracy.
That phrase may sound outdated in an era
crying out for transparency and account¬
ability, but our city needs more democracy,
more citizen empowerment, more indepen¬
dent checks and balances — not less.
I have empathy for the people who
perceive flaws in the elected auditor plan.
There’s a drive in human nature to see
what’s missing, to make things more our
own.
I believe in taking time to include all
perspectives; At the same time I have no
confidence in our City Council’s ability to
meet the objectives that the citizens' initia¬
tive clearly and effectively does.
Please contact everyone you know to
ensure they’ve sent in their “Yes” on 20-
283 and “No” on 20-287 ballots.

SUPER KENT
I’m writing in response to those nay¬
sayers who have expressed views that can¬
didate Nora Kent lacks sufficient experi¬
ence for the job of county commissioner.
The naysayers conveniently ignore the
fact that the incumbent commissioner had
no economic or government experience
when first elected. His background solely
consisted of being an engineer, with ab¬
solutely no community or public involve¬
ment.
Kent has demonstrated a successful
track record of being a grassroots com¬
munity organizer as well as a first-rate
educator. This position comes with no pre¬
requisites other than being honest, ethical
and dedicated to following the rule of law
while serving the interests of the people.
The incumbent commissioner has not
demonstrated the ability to serve his con¬
stituents other than to provide excessive
favoritism to the wealthy timber barons
and other narrow-minded special interest
groups who poison our water, land and air
— and worse yet, undermine the funda¬
mental principles of our democracy.
This race is about whom we the people
want to represent our interests, ideas and
moral values. This race is about sending
a clear message, from the local level, that
representative democracy is alive and well
and will not be suppressed by a few power¬
ful, evil and undemocratic interest groups.
Kent will protect us from the dangerous
political views expressed by the Tea Party
incumbent and his extremist buddies.
In the case of the incumbent, some ex¬
perience should not be repeated. It’s time
for positive change — please vote and
support Nora Kent for West Lane County
commissioner.

BERNEY HAS IDEAS
We met Joe Berney at a Care Works
meeting. All county commissioner candi¬
dates were invited; however, Berney was
the only Springfield candidate to attend.
We were impressed by his energy, open¬
ness and willingness to listen to all, not
just the moneyed and influential. Although
he’ll represent Springfield, he’ll respond to
the needs of all Lane County.
Berney invited Susan to speak at his
healthcare forum on April 14, where we
learned a little about how he has over¬
come medical and life challenges that have
formed his views on people’s needs.
Two physicians and Susan discussed
how Lane County could utilize current
funding streams to provide healthcare to
all area residents. It is possible to provide
health care for all without spending more!
VIEWPOINT
BY JOHN BAROFSKY AND JOSHUA SKOV
It’s the Right Kind of Auditor
YES ON 20-287
s long-time volunteers who watch Eugene’s city government
closely, we want a strong and effective performance auditor.
That’s why we’re supporting measure 20-287, and not 20-283.
The best way to understand how 20-287 will be more effective
is to start with the way Eugene’s government currently works. We
have a voice in one simple way: We elect eight councilors and a mayor, and they
direct the city manager.
Everyone else in city government works for the city manager. All small
spending decisions, the preparation of the budget, the maintenance of our streets
and parks, hiring and firing of staff — all of that falls to the city manager and his
executive staff. You may not like it, but that is our form of government — so-
called council-manager form — and it’s written into the city charter.
When you look at it that way, you realize that an auditor shouldn’t be audit¬
ing the City Council for one simple reason: There’s nothing to audit! Councilors
make major policy decisions and set the direction for spending. In our form of
government, their job is the big picture. Do we get Lyft and Uber, or not? Do we
pass a Climate Recovery Ordinance, or not? Do we tear down City Hall, or not?
Dogs downtown, or not? Come up with a real housing strategy, or not?
Those are the important policy questions that come before council. Don’t like
the answers? Elect different councilors and a different mayor. Vote for a different
strategy for the big picture.
Still, with all of the details in the hands of the city manager and other staff,
the mayor and council need a better way to assess their performance. And that
is where an auditor under Measure 20-287 gives our elected officials a new tool.
The measure creates a position — independent of city staff, reporting directly to
council — to be the eyes and ears of mayor and council. By acting at the direc¬
tion of the people we elect, an appointed performance auditor will help to bring
the city manager and city organization in line with our community’s goals.
We see a lot of questions that a performance auditor could ask of city govern¬
ment to make council more effective. How efficient is our spending on homeless¬
ness? Is our level of ambulance service sufficient? Which public safety strategies
have been most effective? And how quickly are we implementing the Climate
Recovery Ordinance? These questions concern the performance of city govern¬
ment — meaning, the city manager and the 1,500 people who work for him.
Measure 20-287 has the right ingredients for real accountability: a citizen
oversight committee; reasonable salary and budget; and the right relationship to
City Council, which must ultimately implement the recommendations the audi¬
tor generates. (By contrast, Measure 20-283 gets most of these details wrong,
doesn’t fit with our current form of government and just creates another politi¬
cian. But that isn’t our focus here.)
Maybe most of all, the appointed auditor would be independent — specifi¬
cally, independent in the way that matters: not answering to the city manager, the
position whose performance would get audited.
Our community has big goals — on homelessness, climate change, public
safety, parks, downtown, neighborhoods and more. We elect a City Council to
set policy and pass budgets to pursue those aims and values. Now let’s put in
place an appointed performance auditor and help those elected officials get the
job done.
We want government to be efficient and effective, and we want to know how
our money gets spent pursuing our goals. That’s why we’re supporting an ap¬
pointed auditor. Join us in voting “Yes” on Measure 20-287.

Performance Audit Committee. Joshua Skov is a member of the city of Eugene Budget Committee.

Berney has a long track record of help¬
ing people.
The Register-Guard endorsement says
it best when asking why voters should elect
Berney for Springfield county commis¬
sioner: He has fresh ideas. He has experi¬
ence in creating family-wage jobs and suc¬
cessful businesses, teaching — including
obtaining retraining funds for displaced
workers — and creating affordable hous¬
ing.
Joe Berney does not need to be Lane

BUCH HELPS VETS
I am supporting Heather Buch as a can¬
didate for Lane County commissioner for
District 5. She owns and operates her own
small business, while acting as the special
projects director for St. Vincent de Paul.
As the construction manager for the
Veterans’ Housing Project, I had the oppor¬
tunity to work closely with Buch and came
to know her very well. She has coordinated
the repairs to multiple homes for many re¬
turning veterans. Her eagerness and pas¬
sion were the driving force that led to the
ultimate success of the project.
As a Marine Corps veteran of the Viet¬
nam era, I experienced firsthand the need
to support veterans for housing and educa¬
tion. Buch was very respectful and dedi¬
cated to the housing efforts for the program
and to the veterans that would benefit from
our work.
I was a general contractor for over 42
years in this area. During my time as a
managing partner I met many small busi¬
ness owners, and I can honestly say that
Heather Buch would be a strong leader and
a competent commissioner for the coun¬
ty. She would represent all of the people of
the district, and continue her quest to help
families attain affordable housing, includ¬
ing our veterans.

ALL THE HELP WE CAN GET
I’m so happy I stumbled onto the Eugene
Weekly website when the primary election
endorsements were published! Pm pretty
new to Oregon and not very informed on
many of the political issues facing the city
and state, so it was great to see a ballot
breakdown from a source I believe in.
I had naively been thinking, “This blue
state doesn’t need my help,” but after
reading up on what’s at stake, I now plan
to vote in the primaries. Hope others find
similar value in what the EW team put to¬
gether.

HAYWARD HO
Let’s give our historic Hayward Field
grandstand to Civic Stadium for the re¬
placement of our town’s other historic
grandstand.
I’m sure it could be dismantled, and
benches and old growth timbers could be
put to a new use.

OUT WITH THE BAD
I have been aware of our Lane County
commissioners’ actions for more than 20
years, and in the majority of those years we
have not been represented. Pete Sorenson
is the lone commissioner working for us
today, and he is in the minority.
What was done to former Commis¬
sioner Rob Handy was shameful. We can
change that with this next election. I will
be sure to drop my ballot in the election
box before the May 15 deadline.
I am deeply concerned that if we don’t
vote out Sid Leiken, Jay Bozievich and
Gary Williams as Lane County commis¬
sioners, our quality of living in Lane Coun¬
ty will decline rapidly.
I have total confidence in Joe Berney
taking Leiken’s place, Kevin Matthews or
James Barber (both are great) taking Gary
Williams’ place, and Nora Kent taking Jay
Bozievich’s place as our new Lane County
commissioners.
We cannot allow the business as usual,
clearcutting and poison spraying of our ru¬
ral lands, and large out-of-state tax breaks
while the average citizen struggles. They
are working for special interests and they
need to go. Time’s up!

WILDE TRUTH
You know what sets Marty Wilde apart
from the pack in the HD 11 race? He has a
unique capacity for seeing the big picture
and acting accordingly.
In a world of binary choices, Wilde is
always seeking the third option — the one
that nobody else has thought of. And in
a political scene dominated by black-or-
white thinking, he sees the shades that are
the hallmark of that rarest of political com¬
modities: the truth.
Qualifications are nice, and a lot of us
have them. But genuine wisdom is a rare
gift, and Marty Wilde has got it.

VOTE KOOPS
I see our suffering education system
firsthand as a high school senior at a Eu¬
gene public school. Kimberly Koops is
endorsed by the Eugene Education Asso¬
ciation and has the sole endorsement of the
American Federation of Teachers.
During health class, our school re¬
source officer told women in the class not
to wear “provocative clothing” because we
would be “asking for it.” Koops knows that
victim blaming like this has no place in our
schools or society.
It is impossible for those who have nev¬
er experienced sexual assault to represent
survivors adequately. Koops is a survivor
of sexual assault and has drafted legisla¬
tion to support survivors. She also helped
increase access to funding for curriculum
that teaches about healthy relationships
and prevents sexual assault.
Koops has the strongest education en¬
dorsements of anyone in the race, and I
know she understands the issues facing
today’s students. She believes all students
should be able to go to school without the
fear of an active shooter on campus, and
she is a Moms Demand Action "Gun Sense
Distinguished Candidate."
Koops stands for everything we need to
be moving towards, so vote for Kimberly
Koops by May 15.

DEAN FOR EUGENE
Vote for Christopher Dean, Eugene
City Council Ward 5. As a residential Re¬
altor, he has a keen sense of the commu¬
nity. He recognizes the need of affordable
housing for the homeless, working poor
and elderly.
Dean will work as a member of the City
Council to address issues of public trans¬
portation, traffic safety and taking a com¬
munity approach to resolving social con¬
cerns. With these and other issues he will
bring unique talents and perspective.
Dean is running against an incum¬
bent for this seat on the City Coun¬
cil. The incumbent is running for a fourth
term. Twelve years is enough. We can do
better.
The incumbent seems bent on repre¬
senting business interests at the cost of the
public interest. The incumbent made this
very apparent during the last City Council
meeting wearing a T-shirt promoting his
private business interest. We can do better.
The incumbent is also praised for be¬
ing contrary. This is not a virtue. We can
do better.
As a member of the Eugene City Coun¬
cil, Dean will work in a corroborative man¬
ner to maintain and improve the livability
of Eugene for everyone.
Vote for Christopher Dean, Eugene
City Council Ward 5.

GOOD WORKS
The Register-Guard has changed own¬
ers and lost its way. Many of us are looking
for a new daily home for news and opinion,
and wonder if the Eugene Weekly might be
willing to change to a more daily paper, at
least for an online version?
It could hire more writers if it had a
small subscription fee for the online ver¬
sion. As it is, the Weekly is a great paper,
but now there are many thousands in Eu¬
gene who need a home, preferably one that
doesn’t serve up recommendations for Jim
Torrey as mayor.
Maybe look at the early Huffington
Post, who just copied and pasted from
many different organizations ... though to¬
day that might not be legal.
Just wondering out loud here, but what¬
ever you do, keep up the good work.

KEEP CITY ACCOUNTABLE
Some opponents of Measure 20-283
claim an elected auditor would insult the
accountability of current city employ¬
ees. Rank and file city employees see the
problems with waste and mismanage¬
ment. They recognize them earliest, often
the only witnesses.
Several years ago, four large city-
owned trees were cut down near Morse
Ranch. I saw no good reason why, so I
contacted the Parks department. They
were completely unaware of ordering it
and promised to investigate.
Later, a Parks employee confided to me
that a different city department had ordered
it, one with money left in the budget they
“needed to spend,” so they hired a private
contractor to cut the trees. I was told it was
a mistake.
City employees have been early and
strong supporters of the elected audi¬
tor. They know it establishes a profession¬
ally certified, adequately funded watchdog
that will benefit city employees as well as
taxpayers.
In addition, eight retired city councilors
are drafters and/or endorsers of 20-283. All
have direct experience with city budget ir¬
regularities. They have nothing financial
or political to gain from an elected audi¬
tor — just have a civic responsibility to see
Eugene’smoney spent wisely.
Vote "yes" on 20-283.

VIEWPOINT
BY BONNY BETTMAN MCCORNACK
An Elected, Independent Auditor
YES ON 20-283
f you want to save money and have open and accountable government,
do your pocketbook and our democracy a favor and vote “Yes” on Ballot
Measure 20-283.
It will “establish an office of an elected city auditor to independently
audit all city activities and expenditures.” The key is “independence.”
Without independence it’s just bureaucrats auditing themselves.
Successful government auditors are truly independent from the agencies
they audit. Measure 20-283 guarantees the independence of the elected auditor
because s/he will be accountable to the voters, and all the authority necessary
to function independently and effectively within the city’s hierarchy is clearly
spelled out in the measure.
Providing a minimum budget that can’t be manipulated by city officials pro¬
tects the auditor’s office from cuts designed to constrain the auditor’s investiga¬
tions, or from being penalized for an audit casting the city in an unflattering light.
It keeps the auditor free from political pressure and interference.
Don’t let opponents of 20-283 cynically scare you into voting against your
own best interests — due to cost. In reality, the auditor’s office is appropriately
scaled and funded to ensure there are adequate resources necessary to audit all
city activities and expenditures (more than $1 billion annually). Based on nation¬
al benchmarks for a Eugene-sized city, the office budget provides all expenses
including salary for the elected auditor and three deputy auditors.
Measure 20-283 will not raise taxes — and every dollar invested in the audi¬
tor’s office can save or recover $4 to $5. There is plenty of money to fund the au¬
ditor’s office for decades in the existing city budget using money the city spends,
without voter approval, on non-essential services every year.
Just consider these eye-popping numbers from the last few years: $16.5
million (and another $1 million annually) from Comcast that disappeared into
reserves; $7 million that magically materialized for train horn projects around
ex-May or Brian Obie’s developments; $5 million to extend fiber optics benefit¬
ing downtown landlords; and $1.2 million per year to rent downtown city office
space because they demolished City Hall.
Then there’s $10 million for Capstone and $7 million in City Hall cost over¬
runs and overpriced consulting contracts (tip of the iceberg, folks). City officials
always find the money to pay for their pet projects.
Elected auditors are career professionals — not career politicians. The elected
auditor will have far more accountability than any other city official, elected or
appointed. The auditor is a non-partisan, full-time position requiring rigorous
professional qualifications and experience. She or he can be removed for cause.
Plus, 20-283 requires that all the auditor’s activities be regularly audited by
accredited national auditing organizations. Those evaluations and all audit re¬
ports will be publicly available for you to see.
20-283’s independent elected auditor — free from political interference —
will ensure that scarce resources are judiciously spent and require transparency
and accountability from city government. Vote “Yes” on 20-283.
Vote “No” on the city’s spoiler measure 20-287. It protects the city, not the
taxpayer.
Bonny Bettman McComack is a retired registered nurse, a former city councilor and one of three chief pe¬
titioners for 20-283.

BY TONY CORCORAN
The 'Year of the Woman'
— or is it?
PROGRESSIVES CAN'T AFFORD TO WAIT UNTIL NOVEMBER
W e have been hearing from every corner nation¬
ally and here in Oregon about a “blue wave”
coming this fall led by Democratic women
in response to the Trump-Pence-McConnell-
Ryan plutocracy. But what about May?
My question is, if we are we so focused on partisan races
in November, are we overlooking two of the most important
primary non-partisan races happening in our state and Lane
County? We can test that theory by watching the turnout and re¬
sults locally in support of Heather Buch for East Lane County
commissioner and Val Hoyle’s run for statewide election as com¬
missioner of the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI).
How will Republican moneyed interests play against Dem¬
ocrats in these races? In both cases, these non-partisan races
involve progressive Democratic women running against well-
financed Republican men. Speaking on behalf of us irrelevant
white rural geezers everywhere, we have reason to worry.
Buch’s main opponent in the East Lane commission race is
Gary Williams, the only conservative in that race. We currently
have five white guys in their 60s on the Lane County Commis¬
sion. As an old guy in his 60s, I can tell you that we need a differ¬
ent perspective at the table.
We have the opportunity next week to elect a qualified woman
who not only brings a different perspective but has expertise in
addressing two of the most critical issues facing the county right
now: affordable housing solutions in both urban and rural areas
and addressing income inequality. Buch has earned more en¬
dorsements than any other candidate in the race, including Peter
DeFazio. Hell, The Register-Guard and the Eugene Weekly both
endorsed Buch. I can’t remember the last time the R-G supported
the progressive candidate in that race.
Four other so-called progressive males are also in the race,
including Kevin Matthews, who alienated some of the most pro¬
gressive voters in the district by leading a lawsuit to stop the
Sponsors Inc. post-prison supported housing project in the Acorn
Park neighborhood. The other three candidates are Tim Laue,
James Barber and (another) professional comedian. Unfortunate¬
ly, any of these four could cut into our chances to elect Buch and
prevent Williams from getting 51 percent of the primary votes
and winning outright.
Remember, Trump won the East Lane County district by just
under 200 votes, and only 37 percent of the voters are Demo¬
crats. Will we get behind a qualified woman with strong connec¬
tions throughout the district in May or risk Gary Williams getting
51 percent and winning outright?
Val Hoyle faces a much different and more
daunting task to get to 51 percent in her three-
way BOLI race. As I warned you in my
last column, Republican House member
Julie Parrish and her aggressive and
nasty campaign management company
have put out a disgusting hit piece on
Hoyle. Lou Ogden is Hoyle’s opponent
and is using Parrish as his consultant.
Ogden’s the guy that loves right-to-work
laws, thinks BOLI should be “more flexible in
enforcing the minimum wage” and hates unions.
In politics, you’re known by the supporters
you attract. Seneca Jones and Freres Lumber have
each given Ogden $50,000 for his campaign. Their
contributions along with many other right-wing
groups have added up to a quarter of a million
dollars over the last few weeks to pay for disgust¬
ing ads using dead children to discredit a gun safety
champion. I still remember the “Impeach Val” and
“Impeach Floyd” signs hanging on the Seneca Jones
mill fence on Highway 99.
The attack ad on Val Hoyle is intended to drive
down Democratic turnout in the primaries. It’s a
smart move in a low-turnout election when pro¬
gressives are focused on November: Discredit
Hoyle in a false ad attaching her to the Parkland
shootings and lying about her record standing up
for universal background checks.
Here in Lane County we remember when the
Oregon Firearms Federation tried to recall Val
Hoyle and Floyd Prozanski for their work on
passing background checks. What’s more tell¬
ing is Hoyle’s ratings with the Oregon Firearms
Federation — an even more extreme gun wack-
job element than the NRA. They gave Hoyle an
F- score, and Ogden got a B+.
The bottom line is that the “blue wave” needs
to start now. We can’t afford to wait till Novem¬
ber to pay attention. Vote before May 15 like it
matters. Because it does.
I wish Heather Buch and Val Hoyle the best of
luck with all the confidence of a concerned white
rural geezer. Remember: Vote early and vote often!

11 signs point toward the return of Uber and Lyft to the streets of Eugene.
Back at the Monday, April 23, Eugene City Council meeting, councilors
voted 7-1 in favor of passing an ordinance to update the city’s public pas¬
senger vehicle code in order to make operating in Eugene more attractive for
transportation network companies — primarily Uber and Lyft.
Regarding the return of these companies to Eugene, “The outcry from residents has been
huge,” Eugene City Council member Emily Semple said prior to the vote at the meeting. “At
night people want to go out drinking; we need to have a way for them to get home safely.”
Semple also said, “Taxis haven’t been supplying the service that’s needed.”
Eugene’s tech industry was a key player in pushing for the return of ride hailing ser¬
vices.
The Technology Association of Oregon (TAO) in the Southern Willamette Valley posted
on its Facebook page: “Thank you to all the TAO members that spoke out in support over
the last 150 days. And shout out to the Eugene Area Chamber of Commerce & Springfield
Chamber of Commerce for your partnership in advocating to expand transportation options
in our community.”
The one councilor to vote against the ordinance, Claire Syrett, has concerns.
“I don’t trust them,” Syrett says of Uber. She points to the Uber’s controversial track
record, laden with lawsuits and scandals, as reason to believe that the company will not
follow the rules set forth by the city of Eugene.
One small window into Uber’s Oregon record is the 10 consumer complaints against
Uber that were submitted to the Oregon Department of Justice (DOJ). Eugene Weekly
obtained them via a public records request. Anyone can complain to the DOJ about a com¬
pany and not all complaints are substantiated.
Some consumer complaints about Uber submitted to the DOJ — one laced with exple¬
tives such as “I’ll see you in fucking Court, you pikers!!!” — gripe about Uber’s surge
pricing, something that has also made national headlines, such as when a Chicago woman
was charged $925 for a ride that normally goes for $117.
Surge pricing happens when demand exceeds the supply of Uber cars, such as on New
Year’s Eve or even during local crises, resulting in a price potentially several times higher
than the standard fare. Uber, through its surge-pricing feature, has long been accused of
price gouging, while its drivers have at times been accused of conspiring to affect surge
pricing. This is echoed in the DOJ complaints.
Richard Hardenstein’s DOJ complaint against Uber focuses on fees rather than pricing.
According to the complaint, Hardenstein and his wife rode Amtrak from Kelso, Washing¬
ton, to Portland on March 17, where they hailed an Uber. They got more than they bar¬
gained for, the complaint says, when they discovered that Hardenstein had been assessed
a $150 cleaning fee. Their Uber driver asserted that the couple was responsible for green
vomit in the car’s interior. Hardenstein protested to Uber, who he says then sent him photos
of green vomit in an unusual way.
“The attachment Uber sent was similar to somebody pasting photos in a document then
making a screenshot of that document,” Hardenstein explains.
Hardenstein contends that because Uber sent the photos of the vomit in this manner he
was unable to examine the photos’ metadata.
Metadata is information stored within some digital photos that allow for the exact time
and location of a photo to be deduced. Without access to the original photos to check for
metadata, theoretically the photos of green vomit could be from any time or place — al¬
though Hardenstein was unable to provide a copy of the pictures sent by Uber, saying that
he had deleted them.
After receiving the photos, Hardenstein escalated. “I get online and see who I can com¬
plain to, and I end up submitting three to four complaints,” Hardenstein says.
In addition to his DOJ complaint, Hardenstein sent a complaint to the Washington State
Attorney General’s Office which, according to an email provided by Hardenstein, informed
him on April 23 that Uber had reversed the $150 cleaning fee and also refunded the cost of
the ride that prompted the complaint.
“We offer an informal complaint resolution service to Washington state residents,” says
Brionna Aho, communications director for the Washington Office of the Attorney General.
She adds that in the event that a business does not respond or offer an adjustment, “We
cannot compel [the business] to do so.”
Hardenstein says that he is “not a big time Uber user, and I’ve not had any significant
problems with Uber before then.” He adds that he previously had issues with Lyft.
Lacking video evidence, the incident between Hardenstein and Uber came down to the
driver’s word versus Hardenstein’s. Uber cannot comment on individual complaints, ac¬
cording to regional spokesperson Nathan Hambley, who notes that Uber drivers are permit¬
ted to install video surveillance equipment in accordance with local laws.
Another similar DOJ complaint from 2015 could have benefited from the existence of
video evidence. In Portland, a rider was accused of urinating inside of an Uber car and then
assessed a $200 cleaning fee. From the records it’s unclear whether a refund was ever of¬
fered, and the complainant could not be reached.
A ride-hailing news aggregator, whosdrivingyou.org, notes newsworthy and negative
incidents involving Uber and Lyft listed chronologically, dating back to 2014. The website
indicates that there have been 366 “alleged sexual assaults and harassment incidents by
Uber and Lyft drivers,” and also claims that worldwide there have been 49 “deaths attrib¬
uted to Uber and Lyft drivers.”
A prominent complaint on this website is that neither Uber nor Lyft drivers are sub¬
jected to fingerprinting or background checks conducted by police departments. Under the
framework adopted by the City Council there will not be fingerprinting. Eugene police will
conduct background checks, but only after a license to operate has already been issued to
a ride-hailing app driver.
If everything goes as planned, ride-hailing apps should be in use again in Eugene by
early summer, according to city of Eugene communication analyst Lindsay Selser. She also
says that before any of this happens, the city’s administrative rules must be changed. The
public is allowed a 15-day period for comment on changes.
Hambley says Uber is now “onboarding” drivers in anticipation of Uber’s return to
Eugene.
He declines to estimate how many Uber drivers might soon be hitting the streets of Eu¬
gene, but points to Bend for reference. “We launched in Bend last year and there are now
hundreds of active drivers there,” Hambley says.

• One last word from us on the elected
auditor measure on the May 15 ballot:
Opponents of Measure 20-283 complain it
was drafted behind closed doors with no
public process, but it’s actually the product
of decades of discussion in public meet¬
ings and even at City Club of Eugene. The
final language of the measure was crafted
by a group of well-informed, civic-minded
folks, including two exceptional former city
councilors, Bonny Bettman McCornackand
George Brown. The measure reflects mas¬
sive research into auditor best practices
around the country and was refined to fit
with Eugene’s form of government. Guid¬
ing the process was auditing expert Gary
Blackmer, former auditor for the state of
Oregon and the city of Portland.
Eugene is not burdened with Chicago-
style corruption, but we do have a city
staff that sometimes stumbles along,
wasting millions of taxpayer dollars in the
process. An adequately funded and in¬
dependent city auditor will work with our
city departments to improve efficiency,
transparency and accountability. Vote
“Yes” on the elected auditor Measure 20-
283.
• A transplant from New Jersey was
elected president of the City Club of Eu¬
gene May 4. Joel Korin retired from his
practice as a trial lawyer, moved to Eugene
to be with his kids and grandkids, and both
he and his wife started volunteering in
this community. Korin advocates for the
“civil and civic discourse” that the City Club
represents. He succeeds current City Club
President Sandra Bishop and Eric Rich¬
ardson of the Eugene Springfield NAACP is
president-elect.
• What would Bill Bowerman do? Ev¬
erybody from the president of the Univer¬
sity of Oregon to the editorial writers of The
Register-Guard has a take on that question
to fortify their positions on the proposed
total destruction and rebuild of Hayward
Field, includingthe fabled East Grandstand.
We think it is safe to say that Bill Bowerman
would not have liked the huge tower that is
part of the current plan. Who does like it?
• After listeningto Bhairavi Desai speak
May 4 as a guest of the Morse Center for
Law and Politics on the campus, we won¬
der about calling Uber to haul us around
any city. Her topic was “On the Frontlines
of the Gig Economy: Organizing Taxi Work¬
ers under Ubernomics.” Desai, the execu¬
tive director of the New York Taxi Workers
Alliance, talked about the obscene gap be¬
tween income of Uber owners and drivers.
She said many drivers don’t even receive
minimum wage. On the other hand, in New
York City, some Uber drivers have joined the
taxi workers union. “How does that work?”
asked one of Eugene’s labor leaders. We
wonder.
S ix days a week, Scott Beeler arrives at a con¬
struction site in downtown Eugene and climbs
up a series of nine outdoor ladders, rain or
shine, to report for work. His job combines
unique views and an element of danger, as he
maneuvers his crane cab 200 feet in the air.
Beeler gets to the top before sunrise and sometimes
doesn’t come down again until after the sun sets, as much
as 16 hours later.
This job is not for the faint-hearted.
To interview Beeler I climbed up the thin, slick ladders
and saw Eugene become smaller as I got closer to the crane
cab. The higher I climbed up the crane, the more the wind
blew and the tower swayed. As the crane cab and its arm
rotated around the construction site, I felt a deep vibration
on the metal platform.
Beeler is working on a 12-story student housing building
between East Broadway and Franklin Boulevard, the site of
the former Chinese restaurant Louie’s Village. The housing
subdivision will have 230 units, 440 bedrooms and four levels
of parking. It is projected for completion by summer of 2019.
A stocky man with minimal brown facial hair, Beeler is
wearing a white hardhat, a black sweatshirt and jeans —
comfortable clothes for sitting in a crane all day.
Beeler says he began his work with cranes when he was
18 in Lewiston, Idaho. He walked onto Potlatch Paper Mill
and got a job working for Chicago Bridge and Iron as a
laborer, sweeping floors and doing other small tasks, un¬
til they eventually put him in a ground crane — a drivable
crane that lifts loads to lesser heights.
“I did virtually anything everyone asked me to do. And
they liked that,” Beeler says. The crane operator at the site
had just quit, and Beeler was asked to try out the ground
crane until he felt comfortable on it.
Fifteen years later, Beeler moved from ground cranes to
tower cranes. He says he knew tower cranes would be his
favorite to operate after his first time.
“I liked it,” Beeler says. “It’s peaceful up here. And there
is really nobody up here to bother you.”
At the top of Beeler’s current crane tower in Eugene sits
a 6.5-by-4-foot cab, Beeler’s daily office. It is furnished
with a leather chair, a few coat hooks, a communication
radio and a decorative wooden hardhat with his name in¬
scribed on it.
Beeler says that he often will keep a microwave in the
cab with him on jobs, but there is not a place to put it in this
crane, so the oven sits outside the cab on an electrical box.
Before his recent return to Eugene, Beeler spent the past
six years operating cranes in Texas and previously worked
in Idaho, Montana and North Carolina. He came back to
Eugene for his kids.
“I chose this job because my children were here. I quit a
job over in Houston to come here,” he says.
Beeler has three children who live in town. His son is a
junior in high school, his one daughter attends the Univer¬
sity of Oregon and his other daughter goes to Arizona State
University. Beeler said that two of his kids have been up in
the tower with him.
“They liked it. They thought it was pretty cool,” Beeler says.
In his work travels, Beeler says he also enjoys the differ¬
ent views that he gets from each crane he operates.
“My favorite view was in Charlotte [North Carolina],
right across from the Panther stadium,” Beeler says. “And,”
he says, Eugene “is not a bad view either.” He grabs the
black joystick on the arm of his chair and rotates the crane
around to show the 360-degree view of the city.
The crane tower, located off of Broadway near down¬
town, at 200 feet tall is one of the tallest structures in Eu¬
gene. The only structure taller is the 212-foot Ya-Poh-Ah
Terrace retirement apartments at the base of Skinner Butte.
The crane sits next to the Willamette River and offers a view
of Eugene from downtown to the UO and Autzen Stadium.
Beeler said the taller the crane, the better it is for crane
operators, even if that means a longer, harder climb to the top.
“That’s what everybody wants — the highest crane,”
Beeler says. “It’s a better view. You can see over the top of
everybody.”
One of Beeler’s favorite projects was working on the
Ruby Dam in Montana because of his closeness to the wild¬
life there. He saw golden eagles, bighorn sheep and bald
eagles in his daily work.
“It was really pretty there,” he says.
Although he enjoys the scenery, Beeler has encountered
troubles in his work over the years.
“Everyone just thinks we sit up here and pull levers, but
there’s a lot more to it,” Beeler says.
Anytime something goes wrong with the crane loads,
Beeler says, it is his fault, even though he is not on the
ground to supervise.
Beeler says that once, he had someone on the ground
check the hold of the crane choker and clear him to lift the
load. Beeler picked up the load and moved it, but the straps
broke and it fell off the crane next to a construction office.
“I was blamed for it,” he says. “What am I supposed to
do? Climb down 200 feet and check it myself?”
Beeler’s current crane can lift from 11,680 to 22,040
pounds at a time, depending on whether it is lifting from the
tip or closer to the middle of the crane arm.
Communication can also be an issue, Beeler says, be¬
cause he can only communicate through a radio. A few mo¬
ments later, an inaudible voice comes over the radio telling
him what to pick up next. Beeler grabs the communicator
and asks them to repeat themselves.
“If you are on the ground, anyone can come up and ask
you for anything, but up here they have to go through the
radio,” Beeler says.
Beeler’s work day consists of continuous alone time. Re¬
cently, on a slower day, he took an hour-long nap during his
lunchtime.
Other times, Beeler says, he doesn’t get an opportunity
to leave his cab.
“Sometimes I have a 16-hour day,” Beeler says. “That
happens a lot. They bid the job with not very much time, so
they have to have a lot of overtime.”
In addition, Beeler usually works six days a week. He
says he’s had one-day weekends for the past six years.
“It pays very well, that’s the good part about it,” Beeler
says. He adds that he is often surprised when he gets a half¬
day on Saturday — off before the sun has gone down. In his
small slice of free time, Beeler enjoys fishing and golfing.
“You don’t have much of a life other than work,” Beeler
says.
Regardless of the hours and lack of interaction with oth¬
er people, Beeler seems at peace with his skyscraping life¬
style. With miles of magnificent cityscapes and landscapes
outside his office window, it would be hard for anyone not
to find some contentment in the cab of a crane 200 feet in
the air.

KEN NEUBECK
After 32 years ofteachingsociology atthe University
of Connecticut, where he established an academic
curriculum in human rights and wrote books includ¬
ing Welfare Racism: Playing the Race Card Against
America’s Poor , Prof. Ken Neubeck accepted a “golden
handshake” retirement offer at age 60. His wife Mary
Alice, an assistant dean at the school, also retired,
and in 2003 the couple arrived in Eugene, where their
son Michael and his family were living. “I made a de¬
cision to not go back to academia,” he says, “except
for occasional lectures. Instead, I threw myself into
activism.” He brought his golden retriever, Tanner, to
River Road Elementary School to listen to kids prac¬
ticing their reading, and he began volunteering at
the Amigos Multicultural Center, an immigrant rights
group. He was invited to join its board, and he served
as executive director from 2006 to 2012. “I worked
hard to support the youth group, Juventud FACETA,”
he says. “Immigrant youth who graduate become hu¬
man rights ambassadors.” As a member of the Eugene
Human Rights Commission since 2008, Neubeck has
promoted human rights as something broader than
civil rights to not be discriminated against. “Back in
2011,” he says, “I put forward a proposal to revise
the city’s Human Rights Ordinance to promote the
full range of human rights as found in the Universal
Declaration: rights to food, housing and medical care.
It was unanimous with the City Council.” In recent
years, he has volunteered as a crisis counselor for
Occupy Medical and a legal observer with the Civil
Liberties Defense Center. He has also been active
with Showing up for Racial Justice, with the Integra¬
tion Network for Immigrants of Lane County and with
the Western Regional Advocacy Project, working for

DEMOLITION PERMIT FILED
FOR HAYWARD FIELD
Plans are underway to demolish Hayward Field
and construct a new stadium
T he Portland building contractor that built Matthew Knight Arena has hied
for a city permit to demolish Hayward Field.
Hoffman Construction Company hied April 27 for a demolition permit
for “Hayward Field Enhancement.” The permit is currently under review.
The demolition of what the University of Oregon has in the past called
“historic” Hayward Field is proposed to make way for a new stadium, funded primarily
by Nike co-founder Phil Knight and his wife, Penny.
The new Hayward Field is to be host to the 2021 World Outdoor Track & Field Cham¬
pionships, and the UO is using that event to pressure city officials to ensure no delays to the
project.
Community members spoke during the public forum portion of the April 23 City
Council meeting to urge councilors to consider forwarding an application to designate
Hayward Field’s East Grandstand a city landmark. Councilors put forth a motion to
have a work session to discuss it scheduled for noon Wednesday, May 9.
The two-page demolition permit includes applications for project coordination,
building, zoning, engineering, SDC (systems development charges or “impact fees”)
and erosion prevention, but review has not been started for any of these, according to
the permit. Other permits and inspections are also needed, such as “final building,”
“under floor plumbing,” “rough plumbing” and “final plumbing.”
“We have not set a completion date for the review of the demolition permit,” city of
Eugene Code Analyst Charlotte Curtis says. “Once a permit is reviewed and approved,
fees can be paid and the work and inspections can begin.”
Hoffman Construction is the largest building company in Oregon; one of its other
current major projects is expansion of Nike’s world headquarters near Beaverton.
Even if the Hayward site is designated a city landmark, it will not necessarily be pro¬
tected from demolition. Speakers at last month’s council meeting said the designation
would be a crucial step in any potential halting of the project.
UO President Michael Schill sent a letter about the Hayward renovation to Mayor
Lucy Vinis and the City Council.
“While we certainly understand and appreciate City Council’s desire to be respon¬
sive to constituents who want to preserve the East Grandstand, we are operating on
such a tight timeline that any delay to the project, even if relatively brief, risks derailing
completion in time for the Oregon21 Track and Field World Championships,” he writes.
Schill goes on to say that Eugene and Lane County “have been incredible partners
in securing the bid and working with the university to prepare to welcome the world in
three short years,” and he calls Oregon21 an undoubtedly “important economic stimu¬
lus over the several-month training and competition period for many businesses and
individuals throughout the region.”
He adds: “I hope you will continue to invest in Oregon21 by helping us cross one
of the last hurdles for ensuring that it is a success — the renovation of Hayward Field.”

LANE COUNTY COMMISSIONER RACES
SEE LARGE CONTRIBUTIONS
Special interests, timber, development and labor send big checks to candidates
oney in elections isn’t a new phenomenon, especially in Eugene. When
current Councilor Emily Semple faced Joshua Skov in 2016, the two broke
a record of nearly $75,000 in contributions from donations of $1,000 or
less.
As the May 15 election gets closer, data from the Oregon Secretary of
State webpage on campaign finance activity, ORE STAR, show that large sums of contribu¬
tions have left a green streak in some county commissioner candidates’ war chests.
In Oregon, there are no limits to how much can be contributed to a candidate’s cam¬
paign, according to an official with the Oregon Secretary of State. Instead, the state as¬
sumes voters will keep track of contributions through the agency’s webpage on campaign
finance activity.
As a result, candidates on the ballot for county commissioner fall into two categories:
those who receive significant contributions from a few well-funded sources and those who
don’t.
Candidates who fit in the first category are all endorsed by the Lane County Republican
Party, with the exception of Joe Berney, who’s endorsed by the Democratic Party of Lane
County.
Former Cottage Grove Mayor and current East Lane Commissioner Gary Williams,
who was appointed to the commissioner position in 2017 after Faye Stewart stepped down,
has received $76,786 in contributions, with $60,000 of that from timber and construction
firms. That accounts for 75 percent of his campaign.
From early 2017 to May 5, 2018, West Lane Commissioner Jay Boziviech received
$96,175 in contributions to his campaign. Of that sum, $80,500 came from timber and
development-focused firms. That’s 83 percent of his contribution from special interests,
which includes $10,000 from Seneca Jones Timber Company.
Incumbent Springfield Commissioner Sid Leiken told Eugene Weekly after his debate
with Berney that his contributors are community-based, family-owned businesses. Since
January 2017, he’s received $86,900 in contributions, $77,500 from contributors such as
McDougal Bros Investments, Wildish Land Company and $1,000 from Silver Butte Tim¬
ber Company of Douglas County. That’s 89 percent of his contributions coming from spe¬
cial interests, totaling more than $1,000.
The average contribution made to Leiken’s campaign is $1,524.
Berney is transparent about his contributions, and says labor unions won’t compromise
his values because he shares their principles of creating local jobs and development in Lane
County. Since he began his campaign to unseat Leiken, Berney has raised $82,598, with
$63,200 mostly from labor unions and $15,000 from Mountain Rose Herbs.
His average contribution is $1,007.
These contributions exceed those in other county commissioner campaigns. In the East
Lane race against Williams, Kevin Matthews has raised $33,715, with an average contribu¬
tion of nearly $300. Heather Buch has received $43,386, with an average contribution of
$258.
Tim Laue has raised $3,934, with an average contribution of $171. James Barber’s
campaign brought in $9,702, an average contribution of $98.
In West Lane, the average contribution to Nora Kent’s campaign against Bozievich is
a little more than $500, with large contributions coming from Mountain Rose Herbs and
$3,500 from local labor unions
South Eugene Commissioner Pete Sorenson says money in politics isn’t new but what’s
getting worse is the magnitude of the contributions, which are done to influence public
policy.
“Special interests give money because they want to influence public policy,” he says.
“The direct tie between campaign money among the incumbent commissioners is they
have been delivered on the public policy objective, which is to shut down doing much
about the forest spraying.”
Sorenson says he’s also received money from special interests, and that it does make an
impact on public policy.
“Business and special interest groups give money to politicians to influence public
policy,” he says. “We often lose sight of that. They want the person to win and deliver.”
The Lane County Board of Commissioners has delivered on the interests of the timber
industry, according to Sorenson.
For example: “The board’s discussion of and eventual non-action on the topic of forest
pesticides,” he says. “You had this huge influx of money from the timber industry in these
three races and then you had the board turn a blind eye toward the legitimate request of the
public asking that something be done about this particular problem.”
Seneca Jones Timber has contributed $22,500 in the Lane County commissioner race
since January 2017. Since March, the company has also contributed $50,000 to Lou Og¬
den’s campaign for the Bureau of Labor and Industries position.
Commissioners Williams and Bozievich and Seneca were unavailable despite calls for
comment.

TEDDY KUDRNA
Eugene's dead, missing and unidentified people
BY BRENTON GICKER
We sail through endless skies
Stars shine like eyes
The black night sighs
The moon in silver dreams
Pours down in beams
Light of the night
The earth, a purple blaze
Of sapphire haze
In orbit always
While down below the trees
Bathed in cool breeze
Silver starlight breaks down from night
And so we pass on by the crimson eye
Of great god mars
As we travel the universe
— Black Sabbath, “Planet Caravan”
’THERE, BUT FOR THE
GRACE OF GOD, GO I’
Last summer, an 18-year-old named Theodore Alvin
Kudrna — also known as Teddy — disappeared after meet¬
ing with friends at Skinner Butte Park. He was dropped off
at the park by his mother, who thought he was going for a
hike.
Instead, Teddy joined a group of other young people —
some who were known to him, some who were not — who
went to the river to get drunk.
His family became concerned the following day when
he failed to show up for important obligations — a funeral
and job training to be a wildland firefighter, the latter a
job his family knew Teddy was very excited about. Their
worry turned to dread as they began to learn more about
what happened to Teddy the night of his disappearance.
“I want my son,” his mother told a KVAL reporter days
after Teddy’s disappearance. “Pm hoping that he has am¬
nesia and he’s walking around town looking like a home¬
less teenager, because he would be dirty. He would be dis¬
oriented. He’d be hungry. That’s my hope.”
“My fear,” she added, “is that he’s dead in the river.”
Teddy Kudrna disappeared June 1, 2017. A random citi¬
zen, going for a walk, found his body June 17, 2017, on
the river’s edge, a mile or two downstream from where he
was last seen.
Teddy, who I gather was not a practiced drinker and had
little experience with alcohol or other drugs, was heavily
intoxicated at the time of his disappearance and had fallen
in the river repeatedly — numerous pictures taken by his
friends and their own accounts of what happened before
he vanished confirm that — but it remains unclear what
exactly happened to him.
It is possible his friends (or “friends” depending on how
you look at it; some of them were merely acquaintances
and some of them hardly acted like true friends at the time
of his disappearance) watched him get swept away by the
river and lied about what happened because they were
scared of getting in trouble.
It is also possible that Teddy woke up alone (some of his
friends admitted to abandoning him passed out by the riv¬
er) and, in a drunken stupor, fell in the river and drowned.
There are many possibilities. All of them have the same
horrible outcome.
What is undeniable is that for the time he was miss¬
ing, Teddy’s family and real friends were totally devoted to
finding him. Words cannot do justice to this lovely group
of people. Their pain and fear and determination to find
out what happened to him was palpable to anyone who en¬
countered them.
I grew up in the Whiteaker neighborhood. As a rebel¬
lious, self-destructive teenager, I spent many nights getting
drunk with friends on top of Skinner Butte or along the
river. Teddy, who liked mixed martial arts and heavy metal
music, might have been part of my group of friends had we
been closer in age.
I feel lucky that I survived my reckless teenage years
relatively un¬
scathed, and that my
closest friends did,
too. Sometimes I
am surprised any of
us did.
For the weeks
that he was missing,
I obsessed about
Teddy. I had regu¬
lar communication
with his father, Da¬
vid Kudrna, whom
I met while search
efforts were under¬
way. I sought out all the information I could find about
Teddy’s case. I spent hours — alone and with others —
walking along the bike path and the riverbank looking for
him or evidence of what happened to him.
I would have been happy to be wrong, but I knew Teddy
was in the river. It was a truly awful prospect, and all signs
pointed to it.
I did not know Teddy personally, and I can only imagine
how his disappearance and death impacted his family and
friends. His case affected me, and I remember thinking:
What if Teddy had never been found? How would his fam¬
ily carry on? How would they maintain their momentum to
keep searching for him, or would they?
Teddy’s loved ones did not get the outcome they so
badly wanted — for him to be found alive and well — but
at least they got some closure. They were not left wonder¬
ing where he is or if he is alive out there, avoiding them for
some reason.
For many, many reasons, I am interested in the dark
underbelly of our community. I interact with it constantly.
But Teddy’s disappearance got me thinking about the ag¬
ony loved ones of the missing go through as they struggle
to find out what really happened, and his case inspired me
to look deeper into the cases of missing people in our area.
MISSING PEOPLE:
RESOURCES AND TERMINOLOGY
There is a wealth of information on the internet about
missing people. Unfortunately, most websites devoted to
the topic are poorly done, out of date and difficult to navi¬
gate.
The two best sources of information on missing people
are, in my opinion, the NamUs (National Missing and Un¬
identified Persons System) website and The Charley Proj¬
ect website.
NamUs is an officially sanctioned resource used by law
enforcement and other government agencies, as well as
the public, to aid in finding missing people and identifying
skeletal remains.
The Charley Project is the private, unofficial project of
one highly devoted individual who does an amazing job of
gathering information about missing people.
According to the NamUs database, approximately 60
people are missing in Lane County. The Charley Project
lists approximately 30 people missing in Lane County.
About a third of those they profile are the same people.
Their pain and fear and determination
to find out what happened to him was
palpable to anyone who encountered them.
MAY 10, 2018 • EUGENEWEEKLY.COM
The discrepancy largely lies in diagnostic criteria. The
Charley Project, for example, lists only people who have
been missing for at least one year, whereas NamUs in some
respects is more inclusive.
NamUs, for example, profiles Judy Parker — an elderly
mentally ill woman missing from Springfield under myste¬
rious circumstances since December 31, 2016 — whereas
The Charley Project does not. And NamUs is more likely
to profile chronic runaways, whereas The Charley Project
tends to focus more on long-term missing persons cases.
Further complicating matters, it can be difficult to de¬
termine the jurisdiction of a given case, and different orga¬
nizations categorize cases differently.
For example, Rebekah Bramel, a Portland resident, was
last seen by family members in Portland on April 30, 2007.
However, a vehicle containing her personal belongings
was found abandoned in the woods outside of Springfield
in early May 2007. Did she disappear in Portland or some¬
where in Lane County?
Since we do not know, both the Portland Police Bu¬
reau and Lane County Sheriff’s Office are investigating
agencies in her case — at least until it is determined whose
jurisdiction she falls under, which would require finding
her or figuring out what happened to her. Which may never
happen.
More recently, Daniel Oberg, a Sweet Home resident
who was last seen there April 23, 2017, had his vehicle and
his two beloved dogs turn up abandoned in the Marcola
area shortly before he vanished.
For the time being, law enforcement agencies from both
Linn and Lane counties are assigned to his case. It could
be that Oberg was murdered and his body buried in Sweet
Home, but his vehicle and dogs were abandoned in Lane
County, perhaps in an attempt to confuse law enforcement.
It could be that Oberg fatally overdosed on drugs in
Marcola after leaving Sweet Home, and his body was hid¬
den somewhere in Marcola. Both rumors are going around
about his disappearance.
Once again, there are many possibilities. For the time
being, it is unknown where he disappeared, what happened
to him or whose responsibility it is to investigate his case.
Meanwhile, Oberg’s friends and family agonize while
trying to get to the bottom of things.
Other things to consider: A missing persons case can
look many different ways. It is tragic, for example, if
someone gets lost in the woods or falls off a cliff or gets
knocked off a boat and is never seen or heard from again.
However, in those cases, at least little doubt remains
about what happened: The person died, and it was just
an accident. Often the person died doing something they
loved to do.
The only reason the person is listed as missing in these
cases is because their body was never recovered. Such
people are usually classified as “lost/injured missing,” and
there is usually no need for justice in these cases because it
is abundantly clear what happened and nobody is to blame
(unless you want to blame nature or perhaps human clum¬
siness or carelessness), though family members may not
get closure until the remains are found.
The Charley Project provides the following definitions
for different types of missing people:
Missing : The default classification for adults under 65.
Endangered Missing: The default classification for
minors (under 18) and elderly persons (over 65). Adults
between those ages will be listed
as endangered missing if they have
a medical condition or are missing
under circumstances that indicate
they may be in danger.
Endangered Runaway : A minor
missing under circumstances which
indicate that he or she left volun¬
tarily.
Family Abduction : A minor who
is believed to have been taken by
a family member, such as a parent,
who does not have legal custody or
a legal right to take the child.
Lost/Injured Missing : A person
of any age missing under circum¬
stances that strongly indicate they
had an accident that caused their
disappearance, or that they became
lost in a wilderness area. Foul play
is not suspected in these cases. Most
probable suicides are included; peo¬
ple who wandered away as a result
of mental illness or dementia are
not included. An example of a lost/
injured missing person would be
someone who disappeared on a raft¬
ing trip.
Non-Family Abduction : A minor
who is believed to have been abduct¬
ed by a non-family member.
While these classifications are
sometimes arbitrary or contradictory
or unclear, they do provide a useful
guide for how to examine and differ¬
entiate missing persons cases.
What I am primarily concerned with is missing peo¬
ple who fall under the categories of missing, endangered
missing, endangered runaway and non-family abduction,
because those people are statistically the most likely vic¬
tims of either suicide or — more commonly — “foul play”
or homicide. (An endangered runaway, for example, may
have initially left home voluntarily, but they remain miss¬
ing years later because they were murdered or have been
swept up in human trafficking.)
PAIN AND FRUSTRATION
AND DEAD ENDS
I recently spoke to a woman whose younger sister mys¬
teriously disappeared about 10 years ago. She told me
she had to see a counselor for many years because of the
guilt she felt about her less-than-warm final interactions
with her little sister. She would not have bothered arguing
with her about things like a small, unpaid debt or any other
trivial issue had she known they might never see or speak
to each other again.
Fatal and tragic and mysterious endings certainly have
a way of making petty disputes and disagreements seem
especially petty and unfortunate.
Few if any people are prepared for someone
they love to mysteriously disappear; there is
no blueprint for what to do or howto handle it
Few if any people are prepared for someone they love
to mysteriously disappear; there is no blueprint for what to
do or how to handle it.
A disappearance is, obviously, a shocking, devastat¬
ing and overwhelming experience for loved ones. Usually,
when their own efforts fail, people default to relying on the
experts — the media and especially the police — for help.
A common sentiment among the loved ones of the miss¬
ing is that law enforcement did not do enough, or are not
doing enough, to find them. Law enforcement efforts are
often viewed as inadequate at best, negligent or indiffer¬
ent at worst. Disinterest is a common attitude from police,
if the accounts of the loved ones of the missing are any
indication.
“Although I generally am supportive of Law Enforce¬
ment,” writes one author (from Whereabouts Still Un¬
known, a blog about missing people), “and feel that they
really made an effort at the time, you will see a few cases
where it appears that they just plain dropped the ball... and
never picked it back up.”
Police agencies in bigger cities like Portland have big¬
ger caseloads, in which case investigating a missing person
when there is no concrete evidence of foul play or some
other compelling reason to dig deeper might seem highly
impractical.
A small agency (such as Lane County Sheriff’s Office)
might have better customer service when compared to a
bigger agency, but fewer resources to devote to a case.
Hence an agency such as LCSO may do little more than
devote a weekend to searching for someone on the ground
before calling it quits, due to a lack of resources if not a
lack of care.
In the case of Teddy, his father told me he was disturbed
to encounter EPD officers patrolling the bike path while
search efforts were underway, not because their help was
unwanted — it was badly wanted — but rather because
EPD was not patrolling the bike path looking for Teddy.
The EPD officer Teddy’s father spoke with told him they
were out looking for “gang graffiti” to document for their
gang files.
I am sure you can imagine that Teddy’s father was un¬
impressed.
Teddy’s mother, Isla Dane, described her family’s expe¬
rience searching for her son as totally overwhelming and
disorienting, and her experience dealing with Eugene po¬
lice was far from satisfactory. According to her, search ef¬
forts were primarily orchestrated by family and concerned
citizens, and police only took action after they were pres¬
sured to.
“We took it upon ourselves to do what we did to look
for Teddy,” she told me. “Otherwise, I would have sat there
in silence for 17 days until the police arrived at my door to
tell me Teddy’s body was found — by a community mem¬
ber, not the police.”
Dane believes police agencies need a designated liai¬
son to help families navigate what to do when a loved one
goes missing. “I tried to convey to EPD that a family li¬
aison would be extremely helpful, because what we went
through was hell. Not just because my son was missing,
but because of the runaround EPD gave us.”
Loved ones of missing people get frustrated when they
see no outcome or an undesirable outcome, or if it appears
authorities are wasting time on superfluous things like
“gang graffiti” instead of searching for their missing loved
one.
That said, criticizing cops is easy — perhaps too easy
— and often unfair.
Nationally, there are countless missing people, and
some cases probably do remain unsolved because of dis¬
interest or indifference or just plain sloppiness from law
enforcement.
However, police often are the ones most interested (if
not the only ones interested) in solving a particular case.
In some cases involving missing prostitutes, drug addicts,
homeless and other people on the fringes of society, police
may be the only champions the missing person has.
Additionally, while I have no desire to make excuses for
callousness or laziness from cops, one must consider that
police might know more about missing persons cases than
the public is aware of. Sometimes they do not devote more
EUGENEWEEKLY.COM • MAY 10, 20l8
resources to a case because of having too much work or
too few resources, etc., but sometimes they do not devote
more resources to a case because they already know exact¬
ly what happened, they just remain silent about it because
they cannot prove it.
As for the media, they usually care most about what at¬
tracts attention, what sells.
The woman I mentioned above, whose younger sister
has been missing for more than a decade, told me a Eu-
gene/Springfield-based television news station produced
a story about her sister that never aired. When she asked
them why it never aired, she was told that the public is not
interested in stories about missing people.
Obviously, I disagree. I think people matter. I think
missing people matter. I think getting to the bottom of
things matters.
Genuine interest and inquiry and concern — along with
diligence and determination — can go a long way in any
endeavor, which is why I am writing this: I want cases to
get solved.
was 26 years old at the time of his disappearance.
According to The Charley Project, Charles left his father’s
residence on West 3rd Avenue, “saying he was going for a
walk and would be back in about two hours. He has never
been heard from again. Few details are available in his case.”
Charles, unlike the other missing people discussed in
this article, is unique in that he comes from an infamous
outlaw family: He is one of 10 children born to the late Av¬
ery Chester Charles and Ruth Wanda Charles. Every mem¬
ber of the family (alive or dead) has felony convictions.
Charles has at least four siblings currently incarcerated in
Oregon prisons for violent offenses.
An August 23, 1987, article from The Oregonian says,
“Jerome C. Charles, 29, served two prison terms before
his final parole in 1983. At age 18, he was first arrested
in 1975 for driving without a license and resisting ar¬
rest. Jerome Charles was reported missing by his father
in 1984. The elder Charles said he believes police mur¬
dered his son, but he has never taken that account to au¬
thorities. Police still list Jerome as a missing person.”

She has never been heard from again. Her boss and boy¬
friend reported her missing.”
Someone found Dehoop’s purse six days after her dis¬
appearance and dropped it off at a Bi-Mart in Eugene. “He
said he had found it while walking his dog. The wallet was
missing. On May 2,10 days after Dehoop’s disappearance,
the same person who found her purse led authorities to her
white two-door 1990 Toyota Corolla SR5 with Oregon li¬
cense plate YCH635. It was on Lorane Highway just east
of Fillmore Street in south Eugene. There was no sign of
Dehoop at the scene.”
Dehoop’s sister Terri Slaughter-Cabbell wrote on Face-
book on April 22, 2013: “Some of you may wonder why I
always repost Missing people’s pictures, it’s something very
close to my heart. Today makes eight years that my sister,
(my BABY sister) has been missing. I keep in touch with
the authorities, but nothing new (at least I know they are still
looking), eight years of wondering, wishing is hard. I miss
her very much and just wish we could get some closure.”
Dehoop has now been missing for more than 13 years.

Dehoop was once a police dispatcher in California and
has been missing from Eugene since April 22, 2005. The
Charley Project classifies her as endangered missing. She
was born Nov. 5, 1960, and was 44 years old when she
vanished.
The Charley Project says Dehoop was last seen when
she dropped her husband off at the Home Depot off Green

again. Few details are available in his case.”
A May 5, 2011, article in The Register-Guard by Jack Moran says that Nordquist “went
missing under suspicious circumstances,” and “witnesses heard several gunshots in the
Goshen neighborhood where the 38-year-old former snowboarding instructor was last
seen, authorities said.”
Lane County Sheriff’s Det. Carl Wilkerson told Moran, “It absolutely is a suspicious
case, where I think someone could know something that could help us.”
A family member is quoted saying, “He just disappeared, and that was it.”

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the annual
Mother’s Day Powwow put on by the University of
Oregon’s Native American Student Union (NASU), and it’s
an exciting golden anniversary of honoring women and
mothers in the Native community. “Native women are the
backbones of our communities,” says Mitchell Lira, the
NASU co-director and a citizen of the Confederated Tribes
of Warm Springs. Because of women, Lira says, native
communities have been able to survive on Turtle Island
— another name for North America accordingto a Native
American creation story. This 50th birthday is a big feat
since it allows the Mother’s Day Powwow to be designated
an Oregon Heritage Tradition, a title it will receive this year,
says Beth Dehn,the Heritage Commission Coordinator
with the State of Oregon. To receive this designation, Dehn
adds, an event must be in “continuous operation for more
than 50 years, demonstrate a public profile and have a
reputation that distinguishes it from more routine events
and add to the livability and identity of the state.” Dehn
says that honoring Native communities and their large
role in Oregon’s identity is important, especially consider¬
ing they have been historically overlooked. Lira and Dehn
both say this event serves as a way for people from many
communities to come together. “Seeing so many Native
people together is always powerful and seeing non-na¬
tives coming and being respectful and learning about who
we are as people is important,” Lira says.
The 50th Annual University of Oregon Mother’s Day Pow¬
wow is 6 pm to 11 pm Friday, May 11, and noon to 11 pm
Saturday, May 12, at MacArthur Court on the University of
Oregon campus. More info on the UO NASU Facebook page.

Dogs are really too good for us. They give us uncon¬
ditional love and we leave them alone all day while
we work. Attending Northwest Dog Project’s 2nd
Annual Ales for Tails event will surely restore some
karma. The event will feature live music from Loftan
and Cecil and Vinegar of Butterchuck, a silent auction
of more than 60 items and a raffle. Of course, it’s
not a party without a kissing booth, so Penny will
be available to give dog kisses to any human who
wants them. Each ticket also comes with a free drink
— beer, wine, cider or nonalcoholic — and rather
than leaving for dinner, Da Nang Vietnamese Eatery
and 8 Days a Beak will be available so you can spend
more time at the kissing booth. Northwest Dog
Project is a local nonprofit that rescues, re-homes
and enhances the lives of neglected, abused and
homeless dogs. They also promote responsible pet
ownership in the Pacific Northwest — and beyond.
The organization rescues dogs facing euthanasia.
The dogs get to stay at a barn-like facility on more
than 20 acres of land outside of Eugene until they’re
adopted. Northwest Dog Project has rescued and
found a home for more than 250 dogs since they
opened in 2014.
The 2nd Annual Ales for Tails is 6:30-9:30 pm Satur¬
day, May 12, at Ninkasi Admin Bldg., 155 Blair Blvd.
$ 10 in advance, $ 15 at the door. — Henry Houston

Forget your Friday plans. Professional wrestling orga¬
nization Prestige Wrestling will debut in Corvallis on
Friday, May 11. Prestige Wrestling has typically focused
most of its shows in Eastern Oregon, so this is a chance
to see some of the best professional wrestlers on the
independent circuit as the organization begins to branch
into more cities through the Pacific Northwest. The card
will feature former WWE superstar, Simon Gotch, known
in WWE as Simon Grimm of the tag team Vaudevillians
and trained early in his career by Pacific Northwest na¬
tive Daniel Bryan, who taught him to take on a technical
style of wrestling. Gotch says he’s looking forward to
his match with former MMA fighter Tom Lawlor because,
since there’s a shortlist of wrestlers who apply actual
grappling in their ring work, his match with Lawlor will be
an action-packed match that’ll have the audience at their
feet. The evening will also feature a diverse style of wres¬
tling, Grimm adds. In addition to his match of mat-based
wrestling, some professional greats will be wrestling as
well. Super Crazy of Extreme Championship Wrestling
and Juventud Guerrera of World Championship Wrestling
will bringtheir high-flying style of wrestling common in
Lucha Libre and local wrestlers will bring the old school,
traditional style of wrestling to the card, accordingto
Gotch. “You really get a little bit of everything on the
show,” he says.

What would Eugene be without Saturday
Market? It’d probably be just another quirky
college town without a catchall place to
listen to music, get paintings of dogs and eat
good food. Saturday Market will celebrate
its 49th anniversary and Founder’s Day, a
commemoration of Lotte Streisinger and
her vision to bring a marketplace much like
the one she experienced while travelling in
Peru to Eugene. Since then, Saturday Market
has been the place to be. Streisinger was an
accomplished potter, writer, painter and leader
in the Eugene art community. Founder’s Day
will celebrate her through a dedicated display
that will showcase her work. Of course, this is
just the beginning of celebratingthe Saturday
Market. For next year’s Gold Anniversary,
officials say the market will have more events
to celebrate its 50th birthday. In addition to
celebrating Founder’s Day this year, Saturday
Market will also have its annual Mother’s Day
Giveaway on the stage (let this be a reminder
that Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 13). Artists
will donate their work to honor mothers
everywhere. Saturday Market will raffle it all
in a giveaway and prizes will include jewelry,
pottery and body care products. Entering the
raffle is easy. Just put your name into the entry
box at the stage and winning names will be
called every hour from 11am to 3:30 pm.
So, head to Saturday Market, celebrate its
49th anniversary and pick something up for
Mother’s Day from 10am-5pm Saturday, May 12
downtown at 8th Avenue and Oak Street. FREE.

Bricks and Minifigs brings Lego resole to Eugene’s Whiteoker district
r* '
i
A
B ins piled high with brightly colored Lego bricks are the focal point of Bricks and
Minifigs, a recent addition to Eugene’s Whiteaker district. Brian Aljian, the owner
of the store, says Lego-lovers — of all ages — see this as a destination store.
Children spend hours here, just playing.
“I love the expression on people’s faces,” Aljian says. “Their jaws just drop.”
This Lego store is unique — it’s a resale shop, giving customers the chance to sell old
Legos and buy the plastic bricks and sets that they want, new and used. The store is also
home to a large variety of minifigures (minifigs), collectable Lego action figures that usu¬
ally come as part of larger sets.
Aljian says that he saw this selective, unique approach to Lego shopping in a Bricks
and Minifigs stores in Beaverton, and figured Eugene could use a store like that. When he
discovered that the store was a franchise, he decided to open one here himself.
Aljian played with Legos when he was a kid, saying that he had to carve a path in the
bricks on his childhood bedroom floor to get from the bed to the door.
“It’s a toy that doesn’t go away. You can come back to it over and over and build
something new,” he says. “It’s not like video games that you can play for 10 hours and be
done with it.”
Bricks and Minifigs might also appeal to the Eugene’s Adult Fan of Lego (AFOL)
community. Trent Coddington, a sales associate at Bricks and Minifigs who identifies as
an AFOL and has extensive Lego expertise, says he hopes the store will give AFOLs like
himself a place to convene — something they haven’t had previously.
“I’m sure that there are other people in Eugene that are into Legos like we are and
would like to share their creations but just don’t really have a place to share them,” Cod¬
dington says. “If we can provide that kind of place for them that would be really great.”
The store has hosted an AFOL night where like-minded Lego lovers showcased their
work, and Coddington says they plan to host more in the future.
He loves Legos, Coddington says, because they allow people to express creativity.
“When I first started being able to interact with things with my hands I started playing
with Legos,” he says. “I’ve been building since I was a child and I still am building even
at 21. You can take something so simple and turn it into something so complex.”
The Bricks and Minihgs team say they have been having a great time since opening the
store, and they want it to show.
“It’s been fun and challenging and rewarding,” Aljian says, adding that he hopes Eu-
geneans — whether they’re kids, AFOLs or new fans of Lego — will come check it out.
Eugene’s Bricks and Minifigs is open 10 am to 6 pm Monday through Saturday and 11
am to 5 pm Sunday at 780 Blair Boulevard. The store also hosts birthday parties. More

MOVIES
NAY 11-17
BY MOLLY TEMPLETON
I’VE SEEN
THAT FACE
BEFORE
Up close and personal with a pop Icon
in documentary Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami
W hen you’ve watched enough documentaries about musicians and perform¬
ers, you begin to expect certain things from them. The beats grow familiar;
the stories hum along with the comforting structure of a pop song. Leonard
Cohen wasn’t singing about him, but I often think of him when I think about
story structure: “Well it goes like this: the fourth, the fifth / The minor fall
and the major lift.”
Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami does not reward these expectations. It doesn’t
follow a pattern, interview talking heads, introduce its players, offer background or tell
you anything that is not innate to the images on screen. Sophie Fiennes’ documentary is
almost as far from an episode of Behind the Music as a Marvel movie is from one of Kelly
Reichardt’s character studies.
Half the him is spent in Jamaica, as Jones visits family and neighbors and muses on the
relevance of her abusive grandfather to her stage persona. The other half follows her around
the world. She orders champagne for breakfast, experiences a bafhing French shoot where
she is surrounded by dancers garbed in gauzy pink, records her 2008 album Hurricane,
goes out dancing and, between all of this, performs.
The performance footage knits everything together; it’s the blood of the him, though
it appears, like everything else, without context. (Given Hurricane’s release date, it’s
relatively safe to assume the live footage is from her 2009 tour.) It’s not simply that
Jones onstage is the Jones we all might be most familiar with — her stunning presence;
the commanding voice; striking costume changes and persona shifts that take her from
goohness to ferocity — but that the movie shows you all the pieces that create Jones the
performer.
But you have to give your full attention to watching and listening for them. Bloodlight
and Bami is both intensely intimate and frustratingly opaque; if you want to know
facts, dates, people’s full names, the critical reception of Hurricane, you’ll have to do
the homework yourself. This can seem like an omission, but it’s also a powerful choice:
Fiennes’ film doesn’t tell you about Grace Jones so much as it brings you in close and lets
you experience Grace Jones.
Jones tells incredibly personal stories, but they come out in different conversations,
elements you have to remember from one family gathering to the next; she confesses that
there’s only one man who’s ever made her feel weak in the knees, but you will never see a
photo of them when they were in love. You have to look at his face now and see what she
sees.
Like its title and structure, Bloodlight and Bami is two things: deeply personal and,
unless you are an all-knowing Jones fan already, moderately frustrating. Maybe, though,
leaving you wanting more is exactly the point. Maybe someone else can make the talking-
heads movie that traces Jones’ entire career.
Fiennes’ unconventional film is far less concerned with the story of Grace Jones than
with the person that is Grace Jones — and it is a treat to get to spend two hours with her.

FUTURE BLUESMAN
North Carolina’s Reed Turchi & His Kudzu Choir recorded their latest release, Just a Little More Faith, in a
single day. The album is out now exclusively at reedturchi.com.
“Sixteen songs in a day,” Reed says of the recording process. “We were all in the same room,” he continues —
no overdubs, no studio trickery. And recording in this roughly hewn, down-to-earth fashion, Turchi says, “forces
everyone to play together.”
The instruments can’t overpower the singers, and the singers — comprised of Turchi’s thirsty tenor alongside
gospel-style female voices — must listen closely to one another.
“Aesthetically that was the goal,” he says. “What can we do just playing together? It was really refreshing to
make a record that way.”
Faith is a sparse, raw blend of country blues, soul music, gospel and country, managingto feel both vintage
and forward thinking. “It’s not an attempt to be revivalist,” Turchi says, calling his sound “future blues.”
Turchi says blues is the music he first fell in love with, but he’s quick to add, “I’m not a purist.” Turchi tells me
his mom is a classical musician, and he remembers discovering old time boogie-woogie piano music as a kid, an
influence heard on Faith piano instrumental “Wallerin’.”
Elsewhere on Faith, “Honey Honey” is a Lighting Hopkins-style, jump blues workout. Turchi sings in a strangled
yelp: “Spend your weekends/Staring at your telephone / If you got so many friends/Why you sitting here
alone?” A wiry slide-guitar interlude then cuts the tension, bringing real heat and grease to the gravelly groove.
Cell phones and social media aren’t exactly the my-lover-done-me-wrong subjects most associated with blues
music, and it’s a welcome update to the formula. “I talk about things that matter in the moment,” Turchi says.
Despite recording Faith with His Kudzu Choir, Turchi’s currently on the road alone, and he’s looking forward
to returning to Sam Bond’s, one of his favorite bars. “The strength of solo shows,” Turchi says, “is being able to
experiment. It keeps me with a fresh ear to the songs.”
Reed Turchi plays with Eugene’s “sarcastic jazz” quartet Humble George and Portland bluegrass, Latin and
jazz duo Bigfoot Mojo 9:30 pm Saturday, May 12, at Sam Bond’s Garage; 21-plus, FREE. — Will Kennedy

CANDYCORN
Rich Sellers, vocalist and bandleader with Eugene-based Candy Apple
Bleu, remembers a time from the late 70s to early ’90s when there was a
difference between a cover band and a tribute act: when popular songs were
recreated live onstage by capable musicians with real musical chops and
very little sense of parody.
Watch Candy Apple Bleu play sets of what’s sometimes called “yacht
rock” — soft or smooth rock hits from the golden age of AM radio — and you
understand what he means. Sellers got his start with another Eugene-based
disco cover band, Satin Love Orchestra, and fans might be familiar with
Sellers from the Pink Floyd cover act Floydian Slips.
What Candy Apple Bleu does is corny as hell, but this band can play and
that’s undeniable. I normally find a lot of this stuff pretty anemic — bands
like Bread, America and Christopher Cross, musicians that had all the
ingredients of meaningful expression in many of the right the proportions —
but to me it just lacks guts, kick and soul. Sellers says I’m wrong.
“This was pop music when I was a child,” Sellers says, and he appreciates
the music’s tough arrangements, most of which his band picks up by ear.
“It’s difficult to play,” he continues. “It’s so smooth and soft. That’s the
thing.”
In fact, Sellers says he’s proud when someone challenges him by asking:
You really like this music ?
Sellers plays a character on stage: a soft rock icon in his own mind who
never outgrew 1978, and he appreciates the musicianship of his band —
playing everything from keyboards to trombone and saxophone.
He calls the band “seven guys that can nail it.”
Even though he’s played music since he was a child, Sellers has never
been a songwriter, instead calling himself a musical technician. He admits
Candy Apple Bleu is considering an all-Bread cover album, but for now Candy
Apple Bleu is planningto expand their live show beyond Eugene to Portland
and Seattle.
Overall, Candy Apple Bleu’s take on yacht rock is almost brawny,
danceable, focusing on the groove pockets it took to take these tunes to
the top of the charts. In a word, they’re fun, and the live shows have quickly
become some of Eugene’s hottest tickets.
Sellers says that Candy Apple Bleu tries to throw in a new cover, usually
his choice, every other show. “I really like the deep cuts,” he says.
Candy Apple Bleu plays KRVM benefit Adult Prom alongside Soul
Vibrator 8 pm Saturday, May 12, at Hi-Fi Music Hall; $18 advance, $22 door,

Eugene singer brings Shakespeare to life
in an evening of songs at the Wildish
hoebe Gildea loves Shakespeare’s work so much that she’s decided to sing
r The classical opera-singing Eugene native is combining her love of
singing and Shakespeare by compiling a variety of Bard-inspired songs
into one performance called A Rose by Any Other Name.
“It was my mom’s idea,” Gildea says, adding, “I have to deal with that for a
while.”
Gildea has loved Shakespeare since she was a kid. At 9 years old, she played
Ariel in her first Shakespeare play, The Tempest.
Since then, Shakespeare’s works have played an important role throughout
Gildea’s singing career.
Gildea plans to represent Shakespeare in several different ways in her show.
The first is through operas and musicals based on Shakespeare’s stories such
as West Side Story, a version of Romeo and Juliet. The second is through songs
written by Shakespeare and published within his plays.
Finally, Gildea is singing musical texts that allude to Shakespeare, such as A
Rose by any Other Name. She will be accompanied by pianist Nathalie Fortin.
The concert will feature different genres and singing styles, Gildea says. One
song has a choreographed dance, other songs involve acting, and Gildea will also
have three colleagues join her on stage briefly.
“I tried to give it a nice variety so that no one emotion will get too exhausted,”
she says.
Gildea is passionate about this concert because she loves seeing how each
generation remakes Shakespeare in its own image, usually injecting modern
contexts.
“We can go across the divide of time and space and still tell the stories of
human emotion,” Gildea says. “They are still relevant because we are still doing
the same plays.”
A Rose By Any Other Name has a single performance 7:30 pm Saturday, May 12, at Springfield’s Wildish
Theater. Tickets at wildishtheater.com

A Disney twist on Victor Hugo’s gothic tragedy in
ACE’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame
T his past weekend I had the pleasure of bringing my 8-year-old thes-
pian to Actors Cabaret of Eugene to see The Hunchback of Notre
Dame. For some reason, my memory of Victor Hugo’s dark, albeit
lyrically striking gothic novel had been replaced by images of ador¬
ably animated gargoyles, and so I did not expect the abundant flow
of tears that inevitably fell from beneath my child’s messy bangs.
ACE’s production of Hunchback is an emotional one, complete with
all of mankind’s human frailties: lust, envy, murder ... you get the sinful
picture. That’s not to say, however, that the play was all doom and gloom.
From the lighting to the incredibly talented vocal cast, director Joe
Zingo transforms a quaint dinner theater in the heart of downtown Eugene
into a melodious cathedral overlooking the seedy streets of Paris. The story
centers on Quasimodo (Anthony Krall), the half-formed man tucked away
in the bell tower by his twisted uncle Frollo (Tom Grimsley), and Esmeralda
(Ashley Apelzin), the gypsy woman he falls in lust (or love) with.
Grimsley is a formidable Frollo, who is “a jerk,” according to my
dinner date. While the entire cast spends a good part of the play flexing its
vocal range, it’s Krall who is especially moving in his performance of the
unusually misshapen protagonist.
The score, created by Disney’s golden composer, Alan Menken, is really
quite powerful in how it infuses tragedy with a quiet hope that things could
possibly be different for Quasimodo and the poor souls around him — but
don’t hold your breath. The chorus of more than a dozen hooded statues is
profoundly present for nearly the entire play, serenading the audience with
a kind of harmonious moral compass.
The more-colorful elements of the play come from a rowdy band of
Gypsies, a troupe that might have been drawn right from the Oregon Country
Fair. While they certainly played their part with the expected rainbow of
boom and sass, the Gypsies often drowned out their heroic female lead.
Thus, Apelzin’s lovely voice was heard only during solos.
To be honest, I thought the play was going to feel antiquated or at least
weirdly miscalculated, which sometimes happens when Disney puts its
fluff on dismay. However, Zingo and his cast manage to create a thoughtful
culmination of beauty and despair.
Ultimately, Hunchback asks us to consider the implications of hypocrisy
and pride, and what it might mean if we all lived courageously, with
kindness toward one another. Of course these are prevalent issues at the
very core of our being, going back to a time even before the cathedrals were
constructed.
And while kindness may not prevail in Hunchback, we are at least
reminded that, at the end of the night, when we finally kiss the tear-stained
cheeks of our children, we all have the power within ourselves to be truly
courageous. — Alexis DeFiglia
The Hunchback of Notre Dame plays through June 2 at Actors Cabaret of Eugene; tickets and times at
541-683-4368 or actorscabaret.org.
BACKDOWN
THE RABBIT HOLE
Baliet Fantastique and crew refashion Alice in Wonderland
I n Lewis Carroll’s 1865 novel, Alice falls from the quaint English countryside into a
whirling subconsciousness thick with verse and whimsy, but in the new Ballet Fantas¬
tique adaptation, Wonderland gets remixed for the stage.
Alice in Wonderland, a new collaborative work from choreographer-producers
Donna and Hannah Bontrager, shirks any expectation of traditional ballet by introducing
Eugene’s own High Step Society to the Hult Center orchestra pit. High Step’s electro-swing
spins vintage jazz through the laundry cycle of electronic dance music, and it comes out
fresh, clean and surreal, a proper house-band for March hares, hookah-smoking caterpillars
and Cheshire cats.
Hannah Bontrager plays Alice, the intrepid adventurer, as she navigates the court of the
Queen of Hearts, a crazy croquet game, a lobster quadrille and the Mad Hatter’s tea party
through a balletic series of movements that incorporate social dances and circus acrobatics.
This kaleidoscopic iteration of Wonderland includes a steampunked ensemble of more
than 50 cast members. The project also represents a collaboration with a formidable team
of female artists including international designer Allison Ditson, headpiece designer Mitra
Chester, set painters Kelle DeForrest and Katey Finley, and Ballet Fantastique’s librettist-
historian team of Genevieve and Deborah Speer.
So don’t be late for the very important date: Mother’s Day.
Alice in Wonderland plays 7:30 pm Friday and Saturday, and 2:30 pm Sunday, May
11-13, at the Hult’s Soreng Theater; tickets $28-58 (students/youth $18-43), with $5 off
regularly priced tickets for groups of five or more. — Patrick Newson

STILL FUNNY AFTER ALL
THESE DECADES
Paulo Poundstone returns to Eugene this weekend
with a show at the Hu It
W hen comedian Paula Poundstone wanted to get in shape, she
opted for taekwondo — not because she had a passion for self-
defense but because it was the closest workout place she could
find to her house.
“I wanted to get fit but I didn’t want to walk far to do it,”
she says in a telephone interview.
Poundstone, who’s performing in Eugene this weekend, has been making
audiences laugh for four decades. From intimate stage venues to her own
cable television special, she has shared with the world her own hilarious per¬
spective on life.
She has performed in Eugene several times. For this weekend’s show,
Poundstone is unsure what material she will use, but she never starts from
scratch.
“It’s whatever comes up — whatever life and news comes up,” she says.
“I think of new stuff occasionally.”
Poundstone’s favorite part of stand-up is talking to the audience, getting to
know them and asking what they do for a living. She says that in a world
where electronics have dulled the senses, it’s refreshing to see people come
together.
“It’s good to be in a room full of people who have come out to laugh for
the night,” she says.
Poundstone has known she wanted to be comedian since 1965, when her
kindergarten teacher called out her knack for making people laugh. Mrs. Bump,
her teacher, wrote in a report letter, “I have enjoyed many of Paula’s humorous
comments about various activities.”
Poundstone loved the idea of being a comedian, and she’s never looked
back.
“I like the sound of laughter, and I like the response,” she says.
In 1979, Poundstone attended her first open mic night in Boston, where
anyone could walk on stage and perform for five minutes. For the next few
years, Poundstone took a Greyhound bus around the country to see what clubs
were like in different cities.
Since that time, she’s been engaged in a wide-ranging career. In 1993, she
aired “The Paula Poundstone Show,” and since then has written two books,
played a role in the Pixar movie Inside Out and performed for President
George H.W. Bush at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
She is currently a panelist on the NPR show Wait Wait ... Don't Tell Me!
and is the host of Live From the Poundstone Institute.
Throughout all those opportunities, Poundstone continued to perform
stand-up and tour around the country.
“I can sleep in a chair pretty well. That’s pretty much what it takes,” she
says. “I was a stand-up comic no matter what I was doing. It’s a great thing to
be.”
Although stand-up is still her first and greatest love, Poundstone’s latest
book was nominated for audio book of the year by the Audio Publishers
Association. A Totally Unscientific Study of the Search for Human Happiness
is based on her seven-year journey of completing various experiments with
one goal: to find what makes people happy and to write humorously about it.
“It’s quite an honor,” she says. “I was very happy with it.”
In the book, Poundstone engaged in a range of experimental and some¬
times humorous activities, from exercising to volunteering to sitting on the
couch all day watching DVDs with her kids.
“I knew that the experiments themselves would be a playground for the
jokes,” she says.
Her experiments reveal that the key to happiness is different for each indi¬
vidual, Poundstone says, but science also plays an important role. “The
answer is biochemical — go outside, get some exercise,” Poundstone says.
“Those things make a big difference.”
Though she enjoyed her literary pursuit, comedy will always be her main¬
stay.
“It’s the best job in the world,” the comedian says. “I find absolute joy in
almost every crowd I play.” ■
Paula Poundstone will perform stand-up at the Hult Center’s Silva Concert Hall 8 pm Saturday, May 12.

GARDENING
► BY RACHEL FOSTER
A HANDFUL OF HARDY GERANIUMS
Weaving, clumping, running plants that generally behave nicely
ince I ranted earlier this spring about a geranium species you do not want in your
garden, it seems only fair to feature some of the many geraniums that are thoroughly
worth growing.
These geraniums fill various roles (specimen, groundcover, rock garden plant)
and most are reliable, easy perennials that generally behave themselves.
There are plenty to choose from! Robin Parer, author of The Plant Lover’s Guide to
Hardy Geraniums, owns a California nursery named Geraniaceae, the scientific name for
the geranium family. While specializing in hardy geranium and erodium species, Parer
also sells some interesting pelargoniums — those familiar, tender plants that most of us
call geraniums and grow as summer annuals. While these are members of the geranium
family, they are a genus unto themselves and they are not discussed here.
Parer’s website catalog currently lists more than 400 geranium species, including —
yikes! — those notorious annual weeds, Geranium lucidum (shining geranium) and
G.robertianum (herb Robert, aka stinky Bob). But let’s move on.
Many hardy geraniums are clump-formers, dying back each year to a well-defined
crown. Some of these have a tendency to sprawl in the growing season.
The current rock star among geraniums, a cultivar named ‘Rozanne,’ is a good exam¬
ple. Geranium ‘Rozanne’ sprawls and weaves its way pleasantly into neighboring plants
and blooms almost non-stop from late spring to fall. It’s been around for a decade or more,
and has yet to be improved on for length of bloom and the quality of its very blue flowers.
That and its relative drought tolerance make it a good choice for container. It seems to be
reliable in most soils with adequate sun but may fail to wake up from a winter in water¬
logged soil.
The weaving habit is shared by the magenta-flowered hybrid ‘Ann Folkard,’ which has
striking chartreuse-splashed leaves. The vivid, black-centered magenta flowers derive
from one parent, Geranium psilostemon, a magnificent, upright clump-former that can
reach a height of 3 feet or more.
Some geraniums do not form clumps, tidy or sprawling, but steadily expand their ter¬
ritory, year after year. For blue flowers near the edge of a border, gardeners have long
relied on a familiar old toughie named ‘Johnson’s Blue,’ putting up with a tendency to
outgrow its allotted space for the sake of its color and longevity.
If you get tired of pulling it out, there are other blues to try, though most are taller.
Check out ‘Brookside’ or Geraniaceae’s Plant of the Month, ‘Orion.’
While a running habit isn’t always welcome in a perennial bed, it’s a defining feature
in a groundcover plant. My favorite geranium for that category is Geranium macrorrhi-
zum. This is, as far as I know, the only geranium that deer don’t find tasty. It makes a very
manageable evergreen groundcover about 9 inches deep, in shade or part shade. It has
pungently scented foliage and attractive inch-wide flowers in fuchsia, light pink or pinkish
white, depending on the variety.
Geranium macrorrhizum spreads by layering; that is, recumbent stems take root at the
soil surface. This makes excess growth rather easy to pull out. The smaller leaves and
charming light pink flowers of Geranium ‘Biokova’ look daintier, but ‘Biokova’ spreads
relentlessly by underground rhizomes (like ‘Johnson’s Blue,’ but quicker) and so is harder
to contain. It works very well as a uniform groundcover under shrubs, but don’t expect it
to share space politely with other perennials.
Adorable Geranium dalmaticum looks like a miniature
‘Biokova’ but spreads more slowly to form neat mats.
This robust and easy little plant is ideal for rock
walls, rock gardens and alpine troughs.
A good geranium for foliage
interest is Geranium renardii, with
pale, dark-veined flowers and furry,
gray-green leaves that have a quilted
look. Hybrid ‘Phillipe Vapelle’ is some¬
what similar, but the flowers are light
purple. Like most of the geraniums
listed here, both flourish in
sun or light shade, but I
enjoy them most in shade,
where the leaves look their
best.

skittering fn youe underbrush
FREE WILL
ASTROLOGY
ROB BREZSNY
ARIES (March 21-April 19): I hate rampant consumerism almost as much as I hate hatred, so I don’t offer
the following advice lightly: Buy an experience that could help liberate you from the suffering you’ve had
trouble outgrowing. Or buy a toy that can thaw the frozen joy that’s trapped within your out-of-date sadness.
Or buy a connection that might inspire you to express a desire you need help in expressing. Or buy an
influence that will motivate you to shed a belief or theory that has been cramping your lust for life. Or all of
the above! (And if buying these things isn’t possible, consider renting.)
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): These days you have an enhanced ability to arouse the appreciation and
generosity of your allies, friends and loved ones. The magnetic influence you’re emanating could even start
to evoke the interest and inquiries of mere acquaintances and random strangers. Be discerning about how
you wield that potent stuff! On the other hand, don’t be shy about using it to attract all the benefits it can
bring you. It’s OK to be a bit greedier for goodies than usual as long as you’re also a bit more compassionate
than usual.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): I bet that a healing influence will arrive from an unexpected direction and
begin to work its subtle but intense magic before anyone realizes what’s happening. I predict that the bridge
you’re building will lead to a place that’s less flashy but more useful than you imagined. And I’m guessing
that although you may initially feel jumbled by unforeseen outcomes, those outcomes will ultimately be
redemptive. Hooray for lucky flukes and weird switcheroos!
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Born underthe astrological sign of Cancer, Franz Kafka is regarded as one
of the twentieth century’s major literary talents. Alas, he made little money from his writing. Among the
day jobs he did to earn a living were stints as a bureaucrat at insurance companies. His superiors there
praised his efforts. “Superb administrative talent,” they said about him. Let’s use this as a take-off point to
meditate on your destiny, Cancerian. Are you good at skills you’re not passionate about? Are you admired
and acknowledged for having qualities that aren’t of central importance to you? If so, the coming weeks and
months will be a favorable time to explore this apparent discrepancy. I believe you will have the power to get
closer to doing more of what you love to do.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): If you really wanted to, you could probably break the world’s record for most words
typed per minute with the nose (103 characters in 42 seconds). I bet you could also shatter a host of other
marks, as well, like eating the most hot chiles in two minutes or weaving the biggest garland using defunct
iPhones or dancing the longest on a tabletop while listening to a continuous loop of Nirvana’s song “Smells
Like Teen Spirit.” But I hope you won’t waste your soaring capacity for excellence on meaningless stunts like
those. I’d rather see you break your own personal records for accomplishments like effective communica¬
tions, high-quality community-building and smart career moves.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Isaac Newton (1643-1222) was among history’s three most influential scien¬
tists. Immanuel Kant (1224-1804) has been described as the central figure in modern philosophy. Henry
James (1843-1916) is regarded as one of the greatest novelists in English literature. John Ruskin (1819-
1900) was a prominent art critic and social thinker. What did these four men have in common? They never
had sex with anyone. They were virgins when they died. I viewthis fact with alarm. What does it mean that
Western culture is so influenced by the ideas of men who lacked this fundamental initiation? With that as
ourcontext, I make this assertion: If you hope to make good decisions in the coming weeks, you must draw
on the wisdom you have gained from being sexually entwined with other humans.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 22): “Every so often, a painter has to destroy painting,” said 20th-century abstract
expressionist painter Willem de Kooning. “Cezanne did it. Picasso did it with Cubism. Then Pollock did it. He
busted our idea of a picture all to hell.” In de Kooning’s view, these “destructive” artists performed a noble
service. They demolished entrenched ideas about the nature of painting, thus liberating their colleagues and
descendants from stale constraints. Judging from the current astrological omens, Libra, I surmise the near
future will be a good time for you to wreak creative destruction in your own field or sphere. What progress
and breakthroughs might be possible when you dismantle comfortable limitations?
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Mayflies are aquatic insects with short life spans. Many species live less than
24 hours, even though the eggs they lay may take three years to hatch. I suspect this may be somewhat of
an apt metaphor for your future, Scorpio. A transitory or short-duration experience could leave a legacy that
will ripen for a longtime before it hatches. But that’s where the metaphor breaks down. When your legacy
has fully ripened — when it becomes available as a living presence — I bet it will last a longtime.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): When a critic at Rolling Stone magazine reviewed the Beatles’ Abbey
Road in 1969, he said some of the songs were “so heavily overproduced that they are hard to listen to.” He
added, “Surely they must have enough talent and intelligence to do better than this.” Years later, however,
Rolling Stone altered its opinion, naming Abbey Road the 14th best album of all time. I suspect, Sagittarius,
that you’re in a phase with metaphorical resemblances to the earlier assessment. But I’m reasonably sure
that this will ultimately evolve into being more like the later valuation — and it won’t take years.
CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan. 19): According to my analysis of the astrological omens, love should be in
full bloom. You should be awash in worthy influences that animate your beautiful passion. So how about
it? Are you swooning and twirling and uncoiling? Are you overflowing with a lush longing to celebrate the
miracle of being alive? If your answer is yes, congratulations. May your natural intoxication levels continue
to rise. But if my description doesn’t match your current experience, you may be out of sync with cosmic
rhythms. And if that’s the case, please take emergency measures. Escape to a sanctuary where you can
shed your worries and inhibitions and maybe even your clothes. Get drunk on undulating music as you
dance yourself into a dreamy love revelry.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Life never gives you anything that’s all bad or all good.” So proclaimed the
smartest Aquarian 6-year-old girl I know as we kicked a big orange ball around a playground. I agreed with
her! “Twenty years from now,” I told her, “I’m going to remind you that you told me this heartful truth.” I didn’t
tell her the corollary that I’d add to her axiom, but I’ll share it with you: If anything or anyone seems to be all
bad or all good, you’re probably not seeing the big picture. There are exceptions, however! For example, I bet
you will soon experience or are already experiencing a graceful stroke of fate that’s very close to being all
good.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “Enodation” is an old, nearly obsolete English word that refers to the act of un¬
tying a knot or solving a knotty problem. “Enodous” means “free of knots.” Let’s make these your celebratory
words of power for the month of May, Pisces. Speak them out loud every now and then. Invoke them as holy
chants and potent prayers leading you to discoverthe precise magic that will untangle the kinks and snarls
you most need to untangle.

Meet Serena! This sweet,
friendly cat loves to cuddle,
and gives nonstop love
to staff, volunteers and
visitors. She is said to have
the softest fur and a quiet
purr that can be heard
when she is petted. This
beautiful girl with gray and
tan tortoiseshell markings
enjoys sitting on laps and
receiving attention. She's almost 7 years old and is a wonderful
companion. She is an ideal cat companion in a one-cat household
and would do best in a home without dogs or small children. She
has been under some stress in the past when her previous person
had health issues, so is looking for a home where she can relax and
hang out with her new special someone. She also put on a little
weight and will need to continue on her diet for maximum health
benefits. If you are looking for a gorgeous, precious kitty to spend
your days and nights with, then Serena might be the one for you.

SAVAGE
LOVE
First let me say that I think you give excellent advice, even if it is a bit pedestrian at times. I
have a small problem: Last fall, my penis bent up and to the left at an almost 90 degree angle.
I know from Google that this is not an unusual problem. And at 59,1 am thankful that things are
working as well as they are. But I fly gliders, and the relief system is a “Texas catheter” with
a drain line to outside the glider. I believe that the bending on my penis may be the result of
trauma caused by removing the catheter. In your many years of dealing with penis problems—I
know you are not a urologist, but still—have you run across problems of a similar nature? Is
there a way to remove adhesive from the penis that will not cause trauma? Gliding season will
be starting soon, and I dread using the same system if it will cause more damage. My partner is
an amazing woman—70, by the way, and by far the best partner I have ever had (oh, my breth¬
ren, do not look only to youth!)—but I dread further damaging my member.
Hanging Under Nice Glider
First let me say thank you for the qualified compliment—you sure know how to flatter a girl—
and I’ll try to keep my trademark excellent-if-pedestrian advice coming, HUNG. Also, you’re right, I’m
not a urologist. But Dr. Keith Newman is. He’s also a fellow of the American College of Surgeons and
my go-to guy for dick-related medical questions.
“It is not likely that HUNG’s drainage system caused the problem,” said Dr. Newman. “His condi¬
tion sounds like Peyronie’s disease, a possibly autoimmune disease thought to be related to micro¬
trauma, though some penile fractures may result in similar deformity.”
Men with Peyronie’s disease come down with, well, bent dicks. Sometimes the bend is slight and
doesn’t interfere with reasonable penile functions. Sometimes the bend is severe enough to make
erections painful and intercourse impossible.
“Most sufferers will return to within 10 to 20 percent of their baseline curvature within two years
without intervention,” said Dr. Newman. “Thus, it is considered best to defer therapy until such time
has elapsed. Ninety degrees is quite a big bend, however, and less likely to resolve spontaneously,
but its still worth waiting.”
If your big bend doesn’t resolve spontaneously, HUNG, there are treatment options.
“The only real therapies are Xiaflex injections and surgical repair,” said Dr. Newman. “The former
is not approved for patients less than two years from diagnosis or with less than 35 degrees of cur¬
vature. The latter is fraught with increased complication rates due to scarring so near the tip. Both
can straighten the penis, but at a cost of length in many cases. As for drainage alternatives while
gliding, I suggest the following product: freedom.mensliberty.com.”
I’m a 37-year-old male. I’ve been with my wife for 15 years. I know that passion transitions
in a long-term relationship, but I’m having a hard time finishing lately. Yes, I’m on SSRIs—an¬
tidepressants—but that has only exacerbated the issue. We all know that a lot of people who
own a vagina enjoy foreplay to help the orgasms along. Will foreplay help people who own a
penis get to the moment faster? I’m pretty sure I know the answer, and I figured you’re the one
to ask what the best foreplay options are because your sexual knowledge is vast and you reg¬
ularly deal with two penises at a time. As someone who pleasures a penis and who has a penis
that is pleasured, what is the best preparation to get guys off before the insertion happens?
Seeking Weapons Of Male Penile Satisfaction
Foreplay isn’t just for vagina-havers, SWOMPS! Penis-havers have nerve endings all over their
bodies—inside’em, too—and while many younger men don’t require much in the way of foreplay,
older men and/or men taking SSRIs often benefit from additional forms of stimulation both prior to
intercourse and during intercourse. Like tit play. I know some men can’t go there because that tit-
play shit—like feelings, musicals, sit-ups, and voting for women—could turn you gay. But if you’re
up for it, SWOMPS, have the wife play with or even clamp yourtits, and then shove a plugin your ass
that stimulates your prostate while also rememberingto engage what’s often called “the largest sex
organ ”:your brainz. Talk dirty to each other! If you’re already proficient at JV dirty talk—telling ’em
what you’re about to do (“I’m goingto fuck the shit out of you”), telling’em what you’re doing (“I’m
fucking the shit out of you”), telling ’em what you did (“I fucked the shit out of you”)—move on to
varsity dirty talk: Talk about your fantasies, awesome experiences you’ve had in the past, things
you’d like to try or try again with your partner. To get your dickthere—to push pastthose SSRIs—fire
on all cylinders (tits, hole, brain, mouth, and cock) before and during insertion.
I’m a 32-year-old English guy, and this morning I was diagnosed as HIV-positive. I’m in a bit
of a state. I haven’t told anyone, and I needed to get it out. I’m in a long-term, mostly monoga¬
mous relationship, but my boyfriend is overseas for work at the moment, so I can’t really talk to
him about it. So I’m talking to you.
Diagnosed And Dazed And Confused
I’m so sorry, DADAC. I hope you have a friend you can confide in, because you need a shoulder
to cry on and I can’t provide that for you here.
What I can provide is some perspective. I’m just a little older than you—okay, I’m a whole lot
older than you. I came out in the summer of 1981—and two years later, healthy, young gay men
started to sicken and die. Duringthe 1980s and most of the 1990s, learning you were HIV-positive
meant you had a year ortwo to live. Today, a person with HIV is expected to live a normal life span—
so long as they have access to treatment and they’re takingtheir meds. And once you’re on meds,
DADAC, your viral load will fall to undetectable levels and you won’t be able to pass HIV on to anyone
else (undetectable = uninfectious). Arguably, your boyfriend and your other sex partners are safer
now that you know than they were before you were diagnosed. Because it’s not HIV-positive men
on meds who are infecting people, it’s men who aren’t on meds because they don’t know they’re
HIV-positive.
I don’t mean to minimize your distress, DADAC. The news you just received is distressing and
life changing. But it’s not as distressing as it was three decades ago, and it doesn’t mean your life
is over. I remember holding a boyfriend on the day he was diagnosed as HIV-positive more than 25
years ago, both of us weeping uncontrollably. His diagnosis meant he was goingto die soon. Yours
doesn’t. You have a lot of time left, and if you get into treatment and take your meds, DADAC, you will
live a longand healthy life, a life filled with love, connection, and intimacy. Spend some time feeling
sorry for yourself, feel the fuck out of those feelings, and then go live your life—live it for all the guys
who didn’t get to celebrate their 33rd birthdays.
P.S. Don’t wait until your boyfriend returns to tell him. He needs to get tested right away.
